Kagro in the Morning - October 20, 2023

Is there a doctor Speaker in the House? Nope! Not yet. And it doesn’t look like they want to let the Acting Jerk Pro Tem take care of business for them, either.

There’s certainly less appetite for Gym Jordan than ever before, too. Maybe because his people are deplorable.

Meanwhile, The Current Guy was taking care of business, with what was by most reports a real humdinger of an Oval Office address. That’s no malarkey! But that’s not to say there isn’t any malarkey to be found.

As we heard yesterday, the Kraken has cracked. And now she’s just flat guilty. Cheseboro’s next. In case you didn’t know, that’s bad for TFG. And it’s not just the Georgia defendants pleading out, either.

How about a couple wacky stories to close out the day? Peter Thiel is a vampire FBI informant. And so is fossilized “Rage Furby” Chuck Johnson, whom I think we all thought was maybe dead or something!

And speaking of the FBI, tech weirdos and clandestine-type activities, Cory Doctorow wants us to know that cops, spies and tech bros have one thing in common: they love surveillance.

Lastly — and as a weekend assignment — have you ever wondered just WTF is going on with The Epoch Times?
